PRDM proteins control Wnt/β-catenin activity to regulate craniofacial chondrocyte differentiation

ABSTRACT: Cranial neural crest (NCC)-derived chondrocyte precursors undergo a dynamic differentiation and maturation process to establish a scaffold for subsequent bone formation, alterations in which contribute to congenital birth defects. Here, we demonstrate that transcription factor and histone methyltransferase proteins Prdm3 and Prdm16 control the differentiation switch of cranial NCCs to craniofacial cartilage. Loss of either results in hypoplastic and unorganized chondrocytes due to impaired cellular orientation and polarity. We show that PRDMs regulate cartilage differentiation by controlling the timing of Wnt/β-catenin activity in strikingly different ways: prdm3 represses while prdm16 activates global gene expression, though both by regulating Wnt enhanceosome activity and chromatin accessibility. Finally, we show that manipulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pharmacologically or generating prdm3-/-;prdm16-/- double mutants rescues craniofacial cartilage defects. Our findings reveal upstream regulatory roles for Prdm3 and Prdm16 in cranial NCCs to control Wnt/β-catenin transcriptional activity during chondrocyte differentiation to ensure proper development of the craniofacial skeleton.

Derivation and characterization of putative craniofacial mesenchymal stromal cells from human induced pluripotent stem cells

Project description:The introduction and widespread adoption of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology has opened new avenues for craniofacial regenerative medicine. Neural crest cells (NCCs) are the precursor population to many craniofacial structures, including dental and periodontal structures, and iPSC-derived NCCs may, in the near future, offer an unlimited supply of patient-specific cells for craniofacial repair interventions. Here, we used an established protocol involving simultaneous Wnt signaling activation and TGF-β signaling inhibition to differentiate three human iPSC lines to cranial NCCs. We then derived a putative craniofacial mesenchymal progenitor (PCMP) population with chondrogenic and osteogenic potential from cranial NCCs and investigated their similarity to widely studied human postnatal dental or periodontal stem/progenitor cells. PCMPs were quite distinct from both their precursor cells (NCCs) and bone-marrow mesenchymal stromal cells, a stromal population of mesodermal origin. Despite their similarity with dental stem/progenitor cells, PCMPS were clearly differentiated by a core set of 66 genes, including ACKR3 (CXCR7), whose expression (both at transcript and protein level) appear to be peculiar to PCMPs. Altogether, our data demonstrate the feasibility of craniofacial mesenchymal progenitor derivation from human iPSCs through a neural crest-intermediate and set the foundation for future studies regarding their full differentiation repertoire and their in vivo existence.

LC-MS of Craniofacial cartilage organoids from ESCs

Project description:Knowledge of cell signaling pathways that drive human neural crest differentiation into craniofacial chondrocytes is incomplete, yet essential for using stem cells to regenerate craniomaxillofacial structures. To accelerate translational progress, we developed a differentiation protocol that generated self-organizing craniofacial cartilage organoids from human embryonic stem cell-derived neural crest stem cells. Histological staining of cartilage organoids revealed tissue architecture and staining typical of elastic cartilage. Protein and post-translational modification (PTM) mass spectrometry and snRNASeq data showed that chondrocyte organoids expressed robust levels of cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) components: many collagens, aggrecan, perlecan, proteoglycans, and elastic fibers. We identified two populations of chondroprogenitor cells, mesenchyme cells and nascent chondrocytes and the growth factors involved in paracrine signaling between them. We show that ECM components secreted by chondrocytes not only create a structurally resilient matrix that defines cartilage, but also play a pivotal autocrine cell signaling role to determine chondrocyte fate.

Pioneering function of Yap and Taz in promoting osteogenesis of neural crest cells by preventing chondrogenesis

Project description:Neural crest cells (NCCs) are multipotent stem cells with a remarkable ability to differentiate into multiple cell lineages, including osteoblasts and chondrocytes. NCCs contribute to the majority of craniofacial skeleton, yet the molecular mechanisms regulating NCCs diversification into osteoblasts or chondrocytes remain poorly understood. We found that Yap and Taz function redundantly as key determinants of the osteogenesis versus chondrogenesis fate decision and differentiation in NCCs in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo, and Yap/Taz-deficiency in NCCs resulted in a switch from osteogenesis to chondrogenesis. Comprehensive analysis of unbiased datasets including CUT&RUN-seq and RNA-seq indicated that Yap/Taz directly regulate key genes that govern osteogenesis and chondrogenesis. During NCC-derived osteogenesis, Yap/Taz promote expression of osteogenic genes such as Runx2 and Sp7 but repress expression of chondrogenic genes such as Sox9 and Col2a1. Further, we found Yap/Taz directly interact with β-catenin in NCCs to coordinately promote osteoblast differentiation and repress chondrogenesis. Together our data indicate that Yap/Taz promote osteogenesis in NCCs by preventing chondrogenesis, partly through interactions with the Wnt-β-catenin pathway.

Association of HMG20A to H2A.Z, PWWP2A and NuRD complex

Project description:Specialized chromatin-binding proteins are required for DNA-based processes during development. We recently established PWWP2A as a direct histone variant H2A.Z interactor involved in mitosis and craniofacial development. Here, we identify the H2A.Z/PWWP2A-associated protein HMG20A as part of several chromatin-modifying complexes, including NuRD, andshow that it localizes to distinct genomic regulatory regions. Hmg20a depletion causes severe head and heart developmental defects in Xenopus laevis. Our data indicate that craniofacial malformations are caused by defects in neural crest cell (NCC) migration and cartilage formation. These developmental failures are phenocopied in Hmg20a-depleted mESCs, which show inefficient differentiation into NCCs and cardiomyocytes (CM). Consequently, loss of HMG20A, which marks open promoters and enhancers, results in chromatin accessibility changes and a striking deregulation of transcription programs involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and differentiation processes. Collectively, our findings implicate HMG20A as part of the H2A.Z/PWWP2A/NuRD-axis and reveal it as a key modulator of intricate developmental transcription programs that guide the differentiation of NCCs and CMs.

PRDM3/16 Regulate Chromatin Accessibility Required for NKX2-1 Mediated Alveolar Epithelial Differentiations and Function [Cut&Run]

Project description:Differential chromatin accessibility accompanies and mediates transcriptional control of diverse cell fates and their differentiation during embryogenesis. While the critical role of NKX2-1 and its transcriptional targets in lung morphogenesis and pulmonary epithelial cell differentiation is increasingly known, mechanisms by which chromatin accessibility alters the epigenetic landscape and how NKX2-1 interacts with other co-activators required for alveolar epithelial cell differentiation and function are not well understood. Here, we demonstrate that the paired domain zinc finger transcriptional regulators PRDM3 and PRDM16 regulate chromatin accessibility to mediate cell differentiation decisions during lung morphogenesis. Combined deletion of Prdm3 and Prdm16 in early lung endoderm caused perinatal lethality due to respiratory failure from loss of AT2 cell function. Prdm3/16 deletion led to the accumulation of partially differentiated AT1 cells and loss of AT2 cells. A combination of single cell RNA-seq, bulk ATAC-seq, and CUT&RUN demonstrated that PRDM3 and PRDM16 enhanced chromatin accessibility at NKX2-1 transcriptional targets in peripheral epithelial cells, with all three factors binding together at a multitude of cell-type specific cis-active DNA elements. Network analysis demonstrated that PRDM3/16 regulated genes critical for perinatal AT2 cell differentiation, surfactant homeostasis, and innate host defense. Lineage specific deletion of PRDM3/16 in AT2 cells led to lineage infidelity, with PRDM3/16 null cells acquiring a partial AT1 fate. Together, these data demonstrate that NKX2-1-dependent regulation of alveolar epithelial cell differentiations is mediated by epigenetic modulation via PRDM3/16.

Mouse C2C12 cells treated with/without hBMP2

Project description:Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) regulate many aspects of skeletal development, including osteoblast and chondrocyte differentiation, cartilage and bone formation, and cranial and limb development. Among them, BMP2, one of the most potent osteogenic signaling molecules, stimulates osteoblast differentiation, while it inhibits myogenic differentiation in C2C12 cells. We used cDNA microarrays to elucidate regulators of BMP-2-induced osteoblast differentiation.
